Movie cliches that you hate.

[SneakyGameBoy]

Don't you just hate the movie cliches that never seem to die? The movie cliche I hate is when the main character lied about something or kept a secret and then a group or particular type of person is mad at them and they part ways and then at the the conclusion they are back together again and everything is normal again and act like it never happened...STUPID!

[Makakaov]

I hate the clishe that in every movie there has to be some action, or at least actors moving. It's in every fucking movie! Why can't I just watch 2 hours of dead bodies in the morgue at night or something?

That's because the morgue doesn't have guns with unlimited supply of ammos, doves flying around, Mexican standoff, cowboy cop, and a triad member who happens to be a protaganist.

With that said, I really doubt you have seen that many movie unless you're happen to be unfortunate enough to be exposed to one genre.

This is a movie trailer cliche, rather than an actual movie cliche. I fucking hate it that in every single movie trailer, there's a part of it when something happens and the song stops for a second. Every single trailer has that.

Yeah it was unique at first then it got old.

It's like *music stops* *Insert funny joke or funny scene from the movie here*.

[Natick]

any variant of "hero bound by destiny or fate" kind of protagonist never fails to make my bullshit detector ring at the highest alert

thanks for telling me how this story is going to end and killing all of the character development that otherwise could happened naturally

that being said, i should still go see the lego movie just to test this one

Using the Wilhelm scream. It drags me right out of the movie-watching experience and makes me groan. It was funny for a while, but the joke has been run into the ground.

Women get more sexually explicit scenes than men.

The retarded love story that has to plague almost every one of them.

The "nerd" always has taped glasses and pocket protector.
The "jock" is always big and stupid.
Any blonde girl is an airhead.
Black guys always die in horror movies. Always. What's up with that? If someone survives it's never the black guy.

[Orochi]

One cliche I hate when a character trips, it's not like a loss of balance or something they just fall completely in an illogical way, and when they're back up, they don't keep running, they crawl like they lost thier legs, especially when bad guy isclose.

[Jester]

The obligatory action movie underwear scene that they stick in because sex appeal and so they can show it for a split second in the trailer.

the star trek movies are fly as hell doe

Right now I'm in a pretty fucking intense love/hate-relationship with the wilhelm scream

"Bad guy incidentally chooses the one night that the good guy was around so we can see more bad-assery" cliche.

In every action movie a main character has to almost fall off a ledge and everyone thinks they fell.

What about LL Cool J in Deep Blue Sea?

I don't like the specific situation that goes like this: The villain lost, he's still alive though, but not fighting. So the good guy can't just kill him, that would be perceived as inhuman, cruel and immoral. But you also don't want the bad guy to survive and do more harm in the future. So generally, a dumb event will just happen for no good reason, so the villain can die because of his treacherous and evil ways. Sometimes the hero will just be there, letting the bad guy be, and then the bad guy will try one last attack on the good guy to kill him, so it becomes okay for the good guy to kill the bad guy in self-defense. Any variances of this is also dumb. Sometimes it's another villain that will kill a bad guy in an helpless situation, or the bad guy will just commit suicide, making it that much easier for the good guys not to take any tough decisions.

Making women invincible role models except they can't cook or something quirky. We get it. You're afraid of the backlash for writing a woman as a flawed human being but invincibility is boring.

The superpowered vs. not super powered fight. We get that you want to keep humans the audience can relate to in the game but when you introduce some super human advantage into the mix it has to keep meaning something.

Slapping established characters into a story that doesn't need to be about them. We get it, Christopher Nolan, you have something to say about society, but people go to a Batman movie because they care about the characters and mythos of the Batman universe.

The surprise female ass kicker. The group gets together but one is a girl. What could a girl do? She does something badass and the men are surprised. This is not a joke on the characters. You are playing on audience expectation and as long as you keep playing the capability of women as a surprise you're saying that it's legitimately a surprise women can do things.

Apparently "we get it" is my catch phrase now. I'm gonna start doing that on purpose.

kid characters never getting killed.

Very true. Hollywood movie directors also seem to believe that another good way to write empowered female characters is to basically make them be tough guys, but with tits and vagina,

This. One of the various reasons why 28 weeks later was a shit movie, and one of the biggest possible insults to the masterpiece 28 days later by Danny Boyle.

The Wilheim Scream isn't a cliche, it's a trope / injoke which continues to be used because it is literally a part of the entertainment industry. It is also used in cartoons and games. Rather than being something the audience is meant to witness (like a cliche) it is instead something for the creators themselves which is only noticeable if you are aware of what the scream is and how it sounds. I can guartantee you that you can listen back to movies / games / cartoons which you never heard it in previously not that you know the scream and you will hear it. That is how it works.

Wilheim Scream is Where's Wally / Where's Waldo / Derpy in a nutshell. Something included to find.

And she has to be a lesbian. That's why her and the main hero don't hook up. She can't be both attractive and available to men if she's not going to fuck the hero.

This one is also female based by might be considered less feminist than the others. The trope of women playing hookers. The issue being that they're hookers who never actually have sex with anyone outside their romantic pairing. In pretty woman she's had one client. In leaving las vegas the one sex scene she gets away from Nic Cage has her violently gang raped to keep her the victim. In the forgettable but I enjoyed it action flick the female lead is a hooker but she's a lactation fetishist who doesn't actually do hot dog in doughnut. It's been a long time since I saw it but I don't think Jamie Lee Curtis banged anyone in trading spaces.
The gist is she can't be a sympathetic main character AND do actual whoring. Like male heroes are never tragic or flawed.

I hate the cliche where the women who weighs 80 pounds or the child somehow overpowers a burly tough guy and then the movie acknowledges how stupid it is for doing that by making a joke about it or something.
